[Q] Couple of newbie questions :)

Greetings fellow Friends from Galaxy :)

I just moved myself from the HTC Magic section to this one.. It was quite a jump, the Galaxy S Camera and 4inch screen are AWESOME =)

I have a few noob questions that I don't want to spread through many posts, so i've chosen to get them all here, without polution this forum section. Also they might come in handy for future Galaxy S buyers!

My phone is: 2.1-update1 @ I9000XXJF5

Question #1

Well at first glance everyone's trying to fix the "LAG PROBLEM"... I haven't noticed any lag!! What are we talking about? If its a fix.. i want it too :)

Question #2

The phone came with Android 2.1, but at samsung-firmwares.com and at this dev section of the forum, i saw the JP3 Froyo release. How stable is this? Is it already a daily driver or a total beta? As an Android lover, i'd love to have the latest :)

Question #3

I've used the One Click rooting solution and then the ROM Manager Clockwork to boot into clockwork rom and make a full-system backup. In my HTC Magic i had the recovery ROM (Amon_RA) flashed into the internal phone memory, so even if i didn't have a ROM installed, i was ALWAYS able to boot into recovery. That was a safety plus. How can i flash the Clockwork Recovery directly to my phone, without the ROM Manager? I'd feel more secure if i could count on recovery even if, for example, i flashed a non-working system ROM.

Question #4

So what is YOUR favourite ROM? My stock has some unwanted apps, and even worse, it's Eclair. I'd like to switch soon, but i don't know these Galaxy S ROMs :) Tell me what's the best ROM for you!

Thanks guys, XDA is indeed the #1 place for mobile stuff :)

Cheers

[Q] SGS Storages types summary?

Hi All!

Read this forum for 3 hours already, but...

Can't get clear - what types of storages present in SGS.

Here my gues, please let me know if I'am wrong :)

1. internal memory where ROM stored, some linux type file system

2. internal memory for user aplication, about 2 megs, also linux type FS

3. "internal SD" for user custom data (video, music, etc) - about 6 megs (for SGS 8 GB) - fat32 I gues?

4. external SD - it clear - there is know question.

Is it right, that #1,2,3 is phisically single internal memory chip or not?

Another question. I read in mimocan topic, that lag fix is not hardware issue, because if is, only one type of lag fix would work (with moving to external SD).

Please let me know where I can read about (or explain me please) reason of lag issue? All these words - RFS, virual ext2, etc. I wonna find a way to combine all these data in my mind :)

PS: I made root on JM2 and CFLagFix-1.70 already, got success.

I copy over the update.zip file onto my SGS's root folder. When I restart into recover mode (either by pressing the button combo or by the adb command), the update.zip option does not appear. I have tried this on my wife's and my own phone.

I have tried manually copying the update.zip folder and I have tried using the one-click tool.

Hi everyone here.

I was reading around the web about cpu frequency governors

( i'm using raspdeep's OC128v1.1 (Unstable) without problem

on a jm5 with RyanZA latest lagfix ).

I found that, seems interesting, but i'm a bit scared by the process to test it. The compiled "cpufreq_interactive.ko" available is for Motorola

Milestone and don't know exactly how to compile this for our i9000 toy.

The problem is only with i9000.

I was trying to use as usual FRING and other SIP software for calling using 3G network.

Unfortunately every time I try this I have very high level of missed packets - about 90% (sipdroid e.g.).

[Q] Change Galaxy S modem to US Frequencies?

Heya there! I'm planning on visiting some friends in the US for two weeks and I was thinking about how I could use my Galaxy S over there without paying millions of euro for data roaming. The solution would be a prepaid SIM card from AT&T that also allows Data transfers.

The only problem with this of course is that the UMTS frequencies in the US for AT&T are not the same as in Europe. Can I just flash the Modem file of the Captive into my Galaxy S and it'll work? Or will this cause it to crash and burn?

Thanks already,

This might be a very interesting function to all of us.

Anybody has any idea of that? Frankly the CPU of i9000, S5PC110, definately support USB HOST! But the kernal does not contain this part.
